In its passenger advisory issued on Friday, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), which operates the airport under GMR, said some SpiceJet flights could be affected due to the airline's operational challenges. It asked passengers to contact the airline directly for the latest information on their flight status and travel plans.
The advisory did not specify how many flights could be affected or provide details about the nature of the disruption.
The latest advisories follow the cancellation of four SpiceJet flights from Dubai airport on Thursday, November 12, after ground handling company Dnata suspended check-in services over unpaid dues.
Four SpiceJet Flights Cancelled From Dubai
SpiceJet cancelled four flights from Dubai airport on November 12 after Dnata suspended check-in services. According to an email exchange reviewed by NDTV Profit, and only two SpiceJet flights were allowed to take off from the airport that day.
The correspondence showed that SpiceJet owed Dnata more than 14 million UAE dirhams. The suspension of check-in services applied only on November 12.
Responding to the development, a SpiceJet spokesperson told NDTV Profit that the airline was working with the concerned authorities to resolve the matter.
"We are in the process of resolving the matter with the concerned authorities. We have adequate bank guarantee cover in place and are working to ensure that the issue is sorted out at the earliest," the spokesperson noted.
SpiceJet Facing Wider Operational Challenges
The disruptions come amid wider operational challenges for the airline. According to the NDTV Profit report, SpiceJet has been cancelling between 15 and 20 flights daily despite operating around 65 scheduled services.
